Manchester United prepared up for their massive 'Red Monday' showdown with arch-rivals Liverpool by stretching in their hotel car park.

It may be one of the most glamorous and famous duels in world football, but United were taking a no-frills approach on Monday afternoon outside their Liverpool hotel - The Titanic.

It is not the first time this seasons that one of the world's most glittering squads has gone back to basics under boss Jose Mourinho.
